Top 10 MLB All-Star Games of all-time
By Chase Ruttig
10. 1955 All-Star Game
The 1955 All-Star Game featured Stan Musial’s best moment of his 24 All-Star Game appearances as the St. Louis Cardinals legend would cap off the greatest comeback in the history of the event to win the game for the National League.
After allowing a three-run home run to Mickey Mantle in the first inning, the National League would go into the seventh inning down 5-0 and with little hope of getting back into the game after six scoreless innings at the plate.
The tides would turn for the National League with two outs in the bottom of the seventh as they would score two runs off of a single and then an error to get back within striking distance. With two outs in the eighth inning, more magic would occur as three straight singles followed by a game-tying RBI single from Hank Aaron would level the score at 5-5 and send the game into extra innings.
In the bottom of the 12th inning, Stan Musial would complete the comeback with a walk-off home run. Finalizing a meltdown of epic proportions for the AL and one of the greatest come-from-behind wins in baseball history, let alone in the history of the All-Star Game.
